“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”
“We can’t say enough about Miss Cheryl. If it wasn’t for her we would never vacation. You know she just loves our Ruba and has a passion for what she does. The pictures daily is wonderful. The extras are really not necessary but believe me when you get home your house is spotless. She is a treasure. Thank you Cheryl for loving our baby . We love you 🥰”
“Taylor is the best. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog who was in love with her. We felt completely relaxed and trusted her completly. We do hope she can spend more time with our dog in the near future.”
About: I love to walk! Having a buddy or two walking with me is even better. The age doesn't matter. Young is great because they are active and I want to stay active. I enjoy playing fetch. I do like wrestling (the big ones) and some aggressive belly rubbing. Sometimes just chilling out for some petting or scratching works also. What schedule? I'm retired, so I have no schedule and plenty of time. I love mornings! Spending time around animals fits in my schedule just fine. I love to walk and play fetch with Baya or just rubbing her belly and scratching her head. She is elderly and has a sensitive tummy so is required to have a special made food (usually ground turkey or eggs and brown rice and a veggie. Keeping her weight under control helps keep her active.
“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
“Perfection! My dogs were well taken care of and all instructions were followed perfectly. I received a lot of photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her services, 10/10 dog sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover since we moved to Florida. We felt good about using Katelyne after the meet & greet. It was obvious she has a love for dogs. She was prompt arriving, kept us informed throughout the day including sending pics and she gave us a synopsis when we got home. She made sure we didn’t have any questions for before she left. We will use Katelyne again, providing she is available.”
“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”
“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”
“Teri took great and loving care of my dog for 12 days. She went on long walks and took him to a variety of dog parks every day which he loved. Teri is a great communicator and sent pictures every day. She took great care of my home as a house sitter as well. I have booked her again for dog & house sitting in the future as I was very happy with her dedication and care for my dog and home.”
“Andrea C. was an absolutely wonderful house- and dog-sitter for our girls, Tootsie-Belle and Tessie-Belle. She kept them on their feeding, play, and snacking schedule so they stayed happy and comfortable throughout. Andrea sent daily reports with updates and photos, and even reached out with a question to make sure she was doing everything exactly as we wanted. When we returned, the house was sparkling clean. Responsible, attentive, and caring—highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was great! Both of my furkids enjoyed having her stay with them. I felt comfortable and confident that my dogs would be safe and well cared for! I will be contacting her, again, for another trip!”
About: I’ve owned 4 dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I love spending quality time with dogs because they truly make life worth living for! I am currently working two part time jobs and currently have extra time on my hands. Dogs have been apart of my life for so long and I would love to take care of more pups! I will provide the best service for your dog that I can. I will make sure they are fed, walked, and taken outdoors to play & exercise while they are in my care.
“Courtney has once again done an excellent job taking care of our Sydney girl — She’s a 14 yr old, who acts more like a toddler with lots of quirks, than an old lady. Courtney handles everything like a pro. She checks in with a picture or two every few days, which is perfect for us! We are very pleased 🫶”
“I had never heard of or used rover.com before and I'm so glad I did. Dawn kept Herbie (my precious mini doxie) happy and healthy for 7 days -- no small feat, except his feet ;-) I was so pleased that he was able to stay at home, without the stress of a kennel, and enjoy the company of someone who cares as much as I do for my little buddy. Even through tornado watches and horrible weather she was steadfast in her commitment. I would definitely recommend Dawn and request her services again. ”
“We loved having Kelcey pet sit our Pup Zena. She gave Zena all the special care that she needed with being an older dog. When Zena didn’t want to go out after a long day, Kelcey picked her up and got her outside. She gave her a ton of loving and is very trustworthy. Will definitely book again as long as we still have Zena. Thank you again, The Gregory’s”
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I was little and love seeing the different personalities each pet has. Neighbors, friends and family have been able to rely on me to walk, feed and sit their pets. I currently work part-time working typically 3/4 hours a day about 2 days a week. This will leave plenty of time to play with your animals and care for them. I have two friendly animals in the household and a fenced yard allowing the animals to roam freely. Whether it is at my home or theirs, I listen to the owners rules and routines for their animals.

Carter was absolutely amazing. We usually have taken our dogs to Camp. But we had grandbabies being born and business trips. Reviewed bios, met Carter and Rosie and Koda took to him instantly! He is attentive, responsive and responsible and an all around lover of dogs! I didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to not be available next time Rosie and Koda need a big brother to watch him! We loved him!

FAQs for House Sitting - Homosassa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Homosassa on Rover is $88.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homosassa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Homosassa walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Homosassa maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Homosassa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
